Measure Once, Cut Twice: A Story of Excitement and Impatience

Carelessness and inattention in Moab…apparently I need hardcore inners or better glasses 😑

Finally getting some time to work on the impact orange AEV Jeep. Picked up a used MorRyde and clearanced (little cut of wheel, lil sawzall and a flap disk and file) it to fit around the Savvy taillights I also installed. Need a stock carrier now. This thing had a massive spare mounted bumper that I removed.

Had to drill and tap the bottom two hinge bolts that attach to the body, after they snapped. Also, bought a new thread checker. Love this thing; all pieces removable and small enough I can use in tight spaces if needed.

How much did you need to cut? I have the MoRyde and am getting ready to add armor. I want to add BMB taillights but I know they don’t clear and I’m not ready to put the spare in the bed.

I will take photos of the removed material tonight and post.

I have the original thread checker - its money well spent in my opinion. I use it often.

For those that are helping me find a stock tire carrier, I pulled one off my silver Jeep to verify it it'll work and it won't. I appreciate everyone that searched for me.
